February 2024 Update
A Work In Progress
Welcome 2024! It has been 10 months since Elaine and I made our permanent move to Prince Edward Island. With completion of my new studio workspace still a couple of months away, it’s been a time of settling-in, family visits, new home-design decisions and making island friends. We’ve also been happily adjusting to the relaxed pace and coastal culture that this beautiful province offers.
A Creative Break
There have been moments during recent months when I’ve thought I might be going through an artistic dry-spell of sorts, as I’ve not been composing or creating much of late. However, upon reflection I can say that’s not the case. I’ve just been busy with other stuff. This move has been a different part of the journey (and one that I’m rather enjoying!) Of course, the current lack of a finished, creative studio space is a bit of an impediment…but I expect to be up and running by this fall.
I’m also adjusting to this concept of retirement – that widely coveted state that family and friends insist I am now in. I’ve never had a retirement date on my calendar, so hopefully I can be forgiven for any lapse of protocol in this regard. Frankly, this new freedom from the shackles of 9-5 seems as much a responsibility as it is a pleasure… and I’m praying I’ll make good use of it going forward.
The Creative Life
On the subject of creativity, this is indeed a challenging time for independent composers and artists. Original music is increasingly difficult to monetize, with thousands of new songs added daily to streaming services, millions of titles on-line and big music companies with big budgets dominating the social space. Platform algorithms push sponsored, AI-driven playlists and social media pushes endless promotions our way, making the discovery of interesting music on line like searching for sea glass on the beach. It’s surprising you’ve come across me and my music at all…and for that I’m grateful.
On a song-writing note, I intend to add some new compositions to the My Song For You collection of songs with a new EP release sometime next year along with plans for a Christmas: Past, Present and Future project. Don’t be surprised to hear some east-coast influence in some of these future recordings. There are some fine players on the island and I’m looking forward to new musical adventures and friendships.
